Surgebinding requires constant Stormlight as a fuel source, which the Surgebinder can draw by breathing in.{{book ref|sa2|59}} While it is possible to draw the Stormlight from any source infused with it, including directly from the [[highstorm]]s themselves, the common practice is to use [[spheres|gemstone]]s that have already been infused by the highstorms. Human bodies are imperfect containers for the Stormlight, so the Stormlight leaves the Surgebinder's body over time, giving him a glowing effect with luminescent white vapor. Breathing out accelerates this leaving, but Stormlight substitutes for oxygen so the Surgebinder does not need to breathe.{{book ref|sa1|prologue}} The more Stormlight the Surgebinder holds, the faster it leaks out of the body.{{book ref|sa2|2}}
While inside the body, the Stormlight produces an intense adrenaline-like effect, urging the Surgebinder to action and motion, which may result in recklessness if the Surgebinder is not careful. It gives great energy, but when the Surgebinder runs out of Stormlight, he is left exhausted and feeling deflated.{{book ref|sa1|66}}
